Guideline Embrace Kits are complete fly fishing outfits designed to make fly fishing simple, balanced and enjoyable from the very first cast. Each set combines a carefully matched fly rod, reel and line to deliver smooth casting performance and reliable control on the water.
The Embrace range includes single-hand, switch and double-hand models, covering the most popular fly fishing styles for trout, sea trout, salmon and predator fishing. If you search for a “Guideline Embrace kit”, this page helps you compare the available setups and choose the right model for your fishing.
Each Guideline Embrace Kit is a balanced fly fishing combo built around a modern carbon fly rod (26/30T blank technology) with matched reel and fly line. The goal is to provide an easy-to-use setup with consistent loading, smoother loops and better control during presentations.
If you mainly fish rivers and lakes for trout and grayling, choose a lighter single-hand kit for delicate presentations, dry flies and lighter streamers. For more wind, bigger flies and coastal fishing, pick a heavier single-hand model with more backbone. For salmon and migratory fish in rivers, switch and double-hand kits offer improved line control and efficient casting over longer distances.
Embrace Kits are designed with a beginner-friendly focus, offering forgiving casting characteristics while still providing enjoyable performance for more experienced anglers. The balanced setup helps reduce common beginner issues such as poor timing and unstable loops, making learning faster and more comfortable.
All kits are delivered in a durable Cordura tube with a separate zippered compartment for the reel, helping protect your gear during transport and storage. This makes the Embrace series a practical choice when you want a complete fly fishing set without spending time matching components.
